Question

Read the paragraph from Sasha’s personal narrative.

1. In 6th grade, I sang in the school choir, and we often traveled to different places for our performances. 2. I didn’t mind traveling short distances, but I was nervous about going out-of-town. 3. Going out-of-town meant being away from home for a few days. 4. I had never been away from home before. 5. Before the first out-of-town trip, she sat me down and shared her own story about leaving home for the first time.

What is needed between sentence 4 and sentence 5?

Answer 1

To clarify the narrative between sentence 4 and sentence 5 in Sasha's personal narrative, a transitional sentence is needed that identifies who 'she' refers to, such as Sasha's mother or another character.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what is needed between sentence 4 and sentence 5 in the paragraph from Sasha’s personal narrative. Between sentence 4, which ends with Sasha’s statement about never having been away from home, and sentence 5, which introduces another person’s story, there should be a transition that explains who she is. Since the paragraph does not mention any other characters except for Sasha, the sudden introduction of she in sentence 5 can be confusing for readers. To improve the clarity of the paragraph, it is necessary to introduce the character referred to as she, most likely by adding a sentence that identifies this person, for example, Sasha's mother or a choir director. This would provide a clear connection between the two sentences and improve the narrative flow.
